Concurrent ReviewWhile you receive covered services, the insurance company reviews your condition to determine whether the authorization for benefits can be continued. This review may require that the insurance company examine your medical records or request additional information from your doctor or other care provider. You and your doctor will be notified if the insurance company made a determination to change your benefit eligibility.Changing Your SelectionsThe plan permits you to increase or decrease your daily benefit amounts. You must apply to the insurance company, who will notify you if the changes are approved, what your change in premium will be and when the change becomes effective.Inflation IncreasesAt least once every three years, you can increase your daily benefit amount by a specified dollar amount to protect against inflation. You may make this change without providing a statement of health as long as you have accepted this offer at least once during the last two consecutive offerings.ReinstatementIf your coverage ends because you fail to pay the required premium, and you have not paid the premium for at least 36 months, your coverage may be reinstated within 12 months of the date coverage ended if you submit all past due contributions, along with proof of good health to the insurance company.However, if you can prove that you didn’t pay your premium due to a cognitive impairment or loss of functional capacity, you can request reinstatement within 5 months of the date coverage ended by paying all past due premiums. In this situation, you will not have to submit proof of good health to have your coverage reinstated. Last updated: Thursday April 21 2005 | ||
